Application filed May 25,

To all whom may concern:

Be it known that. L ALBERT 1V. MYERS a citizen of the United States residing at Granite City in the county or Madison and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in a Trap of which the tollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to traps especially adapted to be used in connection with sinks. the object being to provide very novel means connecting the trap to the sink.

A further objectot' my invention is to provide the trap with a drain opening, whereby it can be readily cleaned when desired.

Another object of my invention is to provide a trap which is formed of a single body which is so constructed that it can be readily connected to a sink and drain pipe.

lVith these objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction, COlIlblHittlOl'] and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claim.

in the drawings forming a part of this specification Figure 1 is a vertical sectional. view through my improved trap. and a portion of a sink and drain-pipe. F 2 is a top plan View of my improved trap showing the supporting bolt in section. Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. .1. Fig. 4. is a, side elevational view partly broken away showing a modified form.

In the drawings A my improved trap which is provided with a threaded neck A over which is adapted to be secured a drain-pipe B. The trap is provided with a flanged neck A? having oppositely disposed outwardly projecting arms- A' provided wlth bifurcated ends through which bolts C are adapted to extend for securing It to the underslde ot the slnk D under the drain-opening D which is provided l with the ordinary strainer E.

Extending inwardly from opposite sides Specification of Letters Patent.

i of the bot y are inclined partitions F and G- provided with. angled ends F. G which extend slightly beyond the center of the body, the partition G forming a trap proper, in which a certain amount of water is retained at all times so as to form a water seal. The 1 side of the body adjacent the partition G is provided with a threaded bore H adapted to be closed by a plug 1'. so that the trap can be readily cleaned when desired.

In the modificatioi'i. shown in Fig. t, the body J is provided with an internally threaded neck J adapted to be secured over the externally threaded spout K of a funnel-shaped member K which is secured in an opening having beveled walls formed in the sink L and over which is secured the ordinary strainer L.

From the foregoing description it. will be seen that I have provided trap which can readily be molded and one which is eXceedingly simple and cheap in construction.

Having thus fully described my ii'ivention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentis zas a new article or" manufacture, a trap comprising a body provided with a flanged upper neck having oppositely disposed bifurcated arms for attaching it to the under side or" a sink said body being provided with a threaded lower neck for connecting it to a drain pipe. inclined. partitions extending l inwardly from opposite sides of the body provided with angled vertical parallel ends. I said partitions extending inwardly beyond l the center ot the body and the ends out of a 1 horizontal alinement forming a trap proper, said body having a threaded bore slightly above the lower partition and a plug work- 1 ing in the bore whereby said trap can be l quickly cleaned. l ALBEE Witnesses HENRY G.
